Or 1.5Mb is with such options?
To avoid confusion: uclinux is basically a linux distribution; it is made of a linux kernel and a filesystem. The kernel included in latest uclinux distribution file is 3.x series, and it is pretty much equally to a vanilla kernel (as compiled from git). So, when compiling for m68k (coldfire) with just the bare minimum options enabled: block layer, console drivers, romfs, I got a 1.5 MB kernel. I was shocked by the bigness of the number, but it doesn't seem to be easily reduced. And we are not even talking about dynamic footprint, or filesystem requirements! _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
